Avoiding Khalif’s gaze, Evelia hurriedly uttered her improvised excuse. It might have sounded awkward somewhere, but she hoped he wouldn’t catch on.
Whether he knew about her intentions or not.
Khalif remained silent for quite a while. Unable to endure the uncomfortable silence, Evelia lifted her eyes away from him.
Khalif’s face, visible straight ahead, seemed absorbed in thought. Did he find out?
Worrying if she had made him uncomfortable with unnecessary lies, in that moment, he detached himself from the door where he had been leaning and took purposeful strides.
Evelia, momentarily tense, tensed her waist. In the meantime, the legs moving with a wide stride stopped precisely in front of her.
With a tense expression, Evelia looked up at Khalif. She wondered if he was going to scold or rebuke her, but unexpectedly, he had an affectionate gaze.
“If it’s tough, talk to me anytime. If you want, I won’t ask anything. I’ll silently lend you my shoulder.”
At the end of his words, he pulled up the corners of his mouth. His expression, as well as the conveyed message, were overly gentle and sweet.
Today, for some reason, he seemed even more sincere, and Evelia felt her heart flutter for a moment.
The more she knew, Khalif was truly a deeply thoughtful man. To offer his shoulder silently if she wanted it. It was a statement made after carefully observing her intention not to reveal her feelings.
His consideration for her touched Evelia deeply, and she found it beautiful and appreciated it.
Evelia quickly felt moisture gathering in her eyes, but she tried hard to endure it and smiled even brighter.
“…I didn’t say it was tough.”
“I know. But it could become tough anytime.”
“…”
“For no reason, your heart might get complicated, or you might start thinking a lot. Well, until now, it hasn’t happened, but in the future, Felix might find it tough to come see you every morning, right?”
Khalif said in a playful tone. Surely, his expression resembled that of a mischievous child, but even that looked mature in Evelia’s eyes.
Once again, she felt like falling for him. Without hesitation, Evelia reached out towards him. Then, she hugged his waist tightly.
“Thank you, Khal.”
“For what?”
“For everything. I’m so lucky to have you by my side like this.”
Evelia, with a shy, trembling voice, whispered her sincere feelings that she had kept deep in her heart.
She had thought of saying these words sometime in the future, but she didn’t expect to say them at a moment like this.
In her imagination, she had pictured saying these words in a much more tender atmosphere.
Well, this wasn’t bad either. Anyway, she was grateful that she could confess her feelings to him.
Evelia filled her heart with that feeling once again.
“Please continue to stay by my side like this. I’ll be incredibly happy.”
“Why are you saying something so obvious like you’re making a request?”
Responding to her whispered happiness, Khalif replied with a blunt tone. However, a smile no less happy than hers bloomed on his lips.
Due to the embrace, Evelia couldn’t see his face, but she felt like she knew without seeing.
Gradually, his strong grip around her shoulders was filled with deep affection. Moreover, the rough beating of his heart transmitted through the touching skin.
There was no answer as clear as that. So Evelia couldn’t help but smile happily.
The time filled with happiness continued for quite a while afterward. They still embraced each other tightly and savored each other’s heartbeats.
Due to that, they didn’t notice that a hamster had entered through the living room window.
Felix, who had been pacing by the window in the form of a hamster, soon sighed deeply and revealed his original form.
In the process, with his energy emanating and a flash exploding, they couldn’t have missed the fact that he had arrived. However, Khalif and Evelia still didn’t realize they were being watched.
Felix, narrowing his displeased brows, muttered.
“Ha, I mistimed it. I should have lingered a bit more and then made my entrance.”
Despite his complaints, Khalif and Evelia remained oblivious. As if it perfectly ignored his existence, Felix got annoyed.
“How long are you two going to stick together like that?”
“…”
“Hey. Can’t you hear what I’m saying? Hey? I’m here! I’m right here!”
Felix occasionally yelled near Khalif and Evelia, loudly showcasing his presence. It seemed comical, like an impatient puppy, and eventually, Evelia couldn’t hold back her laughter.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
